But zooming out from any single system or harness, there are broad principles that should be applied to all benchmarking.Using these correctly makes it difficult to produce biased results. Am I the world's best benchmarker?Certainly not.I invented the language balls, after all.But correctness and precision are important parts of PlanetScale's culture.We've spent considerable time learning the art of benchmarking, and
Database benchmarks are imperfect.They are also useful. No benchmark can tell you exactly how a database will perform for your application.Workload shape, data size, region placement, storage, configuration, and cost all matter.But fair benchmarks help customers understand tradeoffs, compare options, and ask better questions before choosing infrastructure.
